Eating that slice of moon from an open car window
made you howl
let's see how fast this thing can go
put it to the ground
the radio's kinda busted
you gotta mess with it a bit
to get a good sound
pull it over let's get lost in the cornfields
with that bottle of royal crown
no sign of life on either horizon we lay down on that dividing line
it cuts us in half go forward or go back
either way just don't seem right
what about Jenny you left her standing alone back there
she'll wonder where you are
you say you'd love to lie there forever
idled there on the tar
I'd give 500 dollars for something true
everything I got in this pocket, change too
I keep thinking about when she slipped her hand in mine
hard to find anything that seemed more right

I've been listening to this record for over 30 years (!) It still holds up as one of the best pure pop records that you've probably never heard. A gem, to be sure. Tom Jessen
I'm including this just because it was the first thing I ever heard Dan make and I think it's necessary to start here. Quirky, honest, sometimes goofy and funny, but always heartfelt. Tom Jessen
